It would be great to have a "Follow All" button on Costreams that would allow a viewer to follow all the streamers who are currently in the costream. User's would still be able to hover over a streamer's profile picture and follow an individual streamer.

With Fullscreen already being integrated and Theater Mode being in the roadmap, I'd suggest an option for the Fullcsreen-mode. To have Fullscreen + a little box where you can add Chat-Messages. Many streamers integrate Chat in the Livestream so you don't need to leave the fullscreen to read it. A little input box at a corner of the screen would barely overlap with the stream but give the possibilty to communicate with the Stream without leaving the Fullscreen Mode.

Devathon is a programming contest that has been on the top of the games listing for the last 12 hours as "Programming". We're a new contest, but we match a lot more of the demographic of Beam than other added programming contests like Ludum Dare.

I am pretty sure this is where I would post Language Support. We should have the Korean Language support added on here. Especially having the username system support the language as well. Another thing we could add if that hasn't been added yet is a Language Audience we can set in our channel so when users join and their language isn't of the stream settings it will let them know which audience it is pointed to. For those who welcome all forms of language in the channel can set it to universal or even select the languages they are most proficient in.

As a graphic designer I feel like the emote sizes are a bit small. I feel like 32x32 should be the right size to make an emote whilst 28x28 being a compromise, at the moment I believe that 24x24 is too small compared to other websites.

This is an expansion on the idea of scheduled Streams which are part of the Roadmap. Idea would be to have a calendar part of the interface (I'd suggest a three tabbed interface Stream/VoDs/Calendar but there are many possibilities) which shows a calendar in which the streamer can enter dates for streams.
As mentioned in the schedule suggestion E-Mail reminders would be an option.
Another helpful tool would be to show a timezone-independent countdown, when clicked on an event. Especially english channels tend to have a rather international viewership.

Watching so intently that you forgot the hot dogs have been boiling for 20 minutes? Then this feature is needed DVR feature allows you to pause, rewind, and play from any point in the stream. Once you resume playing, the Stream will start from where you hit pause, so you won't miss a thing.

How does DVR work?

Pause: Click the pause button when you need to take a break.

Play: Once you're ready to begin watching again, click the play button
and the stream will begin streaming again from where you left off.

Seeking: Miss something? Seek back and forth in the stream by dragging the scrubber backwards and forwards. You'll see the time stamp change as you move the scrubber around, so you'll know where you are.

Live: Ready to get back to the real-time coverage of the stream? Just click the Live button, and we'll take you there.

What is it?

The following are a few ways that a few of us here on Beam think Hosting a channel could be used to improve the benefits to the streamer, the community, and the viewer:

1. Have a "Hosts" section on the beam.pro homepage (either between those you follow that are live and the unfollowed live streamers or on it's own tab, like Rising Stars, etc...)
This would benefit both the streamer and the community in two ways. First, if someone goes to beam.pro and sees a bunch of the people in their community hosting a channel, then they are likely to go hang out in that channel as well, to continue hanging out with their community. Secondly, that would indicate that something good is happening on the streamer's channel and would encourage more people to join in on the Beam love, which would help it get super lit.

2. Having a Followers/Views/Watching/Hosting tab could be useful information to the streamer and could encourage them to keep up the good work and interaction.

3. Encourage viewers to host by giving them an extra spark per minute when hosting.

On Xbox one the Chat window is transparent, but below that is the viewer count bar. This should also have an option to be transparent or remove the entire window completely. Some games need the entire screen visible while others would do great with the entire window being transparent. I LOVE this feature, it makes streaming on console much smoother, but it could use a couple of minor tweaks. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Stream ratings should be displayed on the browse page (via icon or some other indicator). The user should not have to click on a stream only to find out it's rated mature and have to go back and find another stream to watch. Also this would help streamers who have a family friendly audience to pick fellow FF streamers to raid.

I know this seems weird, but I've had tons of people come to YouPlay and ask how they control the game.

For people who have never used interactive before, I think there should be some sort of highlighted overlay over the controls telling them to press the buttons to interact. It would disappear once clicked over, and never show again.

For mobile, the interactive button should be highlighted (maybe even flashing/pulsing) until it is activated at least once.
